The participants in the study were identified using the easy-to-access sample technique in the framework of the target sampling method. According to the method and technique specified, the research work group consists of 8 professional teachers who work in the professional high schools in the center of the province of Amasya. The data obtained was collected through a semi-configured interview form created by the researchers. The data obtained by the semi-configured interview form is analyzed by the visual analysis method. The researchers coded the problems in professional education as students-based, parent-based, teacher-based, educational practices-based, physical and hardware-based and business-based topics, and found some of the problems as follows. The arrival of failure students, the failure to work in the field where they are graduated, the problem of compliance and continuity in the business, the lack of experience, the lack of motivation, the lack of internship, the opening of programs in places without the work area, the lack of care material, the physical planning errors and the negative attitude of the employer.

Students should be taken by exam, the priority to the vocational high schools in engineering acquisitions should be recognized, graduates should be followed, cooperation should be enhanced, promotions should be made, vocational development training should be made, internship periods should be extended, managers who understand the vocational training should be appointed, the number of vocational courses should be increased, should provide economic support and equipment support, government support should be increased, cooperation with vocational rooms and should be made, project schools should be opened in the regions and career stages should be created. As a result, professional education is constantly changing as it has a dynamic structure.
